What we know about Suicide Squad ISEKAI so far

After an initial announcement in July 2023, several trailers and additional information has steadily been released. Warner Bros. Discovery outlines the series as follows:

"In the crime-ridden city of Gotham, Amanda Waller, the head of A.R.G.U.S., has assembled a group of notorious criminals for a mission: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface, and King Shark. These Super-Villains are sent into an otherworldly realm that’s connected to this world through a gate. It’s a world of swords and magic where orcs rampage and dragons rule the skies—an “ISEKAI”!

With lethal explosives planted in their necks, there’s no running or hiding, and failing the mission means a one-way ticket to the afterlife! Can Harley Quinn and her crew conquer this perilous ISEKAI realm?! Brace yourselves for the pulse-pounding saga of the elite task force known as the “Suicide Squad” as they embark on a jaw-dropping adventure!"

The Japanese voice cast list has also been announced. Anna Nagase will voice Harley Quinn and Yuichiro Umehara will voice the Joker. Nagase has previously voiced supporting roles in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Jujutsu Kaisen, and the video game Unicorn Overlord. Umehara is likely best known as the title character in Goblin Slayer.

Suicide Squad ISEKAI is not DC's first collaboration with a Japanese production team. Previously, DC and a Japanese team including Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki released the full-length anime movie Batman Ninja in 2018. A sequel to Batman Ninja was announced in the spring of 2024.
